received jesus christ the lord so walk ye in him rooted and buiit up in him- col 267 the lesson as a whole no one can begin to build a christian character until he has become a christian through per sonal faith in the lord jesus christ in other words no one can live a christian life until he has a chris tian life to live hence the import ance of the new birth arart from vhich no one has a divine life in many quarters today great stress is laid on characterbuilding but the solemn truth of mans lost condition by nature is ignored utterly the scriptures are very plain as to this gods word insists that creature righteousness is an idle dream there is none right eous nonot one they that are in the flesh cannot please god all that one may boast of in the way of personal righteousness is but as filthy rags in the sight of god because the natural mans best behaviour is polluted by the corruption of his deceitful heart saul of tarsus fancied his char- icter to be unimpeachable until he was given a sight of the risen christ when all his comeliness was turned into corruption and he saw himself j in the light of god as the chief of sinners who could only be saved through the grace of that saviour whom he had persecuted hence- forthas he was occupied with god he became increasingly like him this is true christian character conformity to christ that his life may be made manifest in our mort al bodies trying to build such a character in ones own strength a- part from christ is like one en deavoring to lift himself up by old- fashioned boot straps historical setting we are unable to say exactly when peter wrote his second epis tle but inasmuch as he refers in it to all his epistles when speaking of st paul it is evident that it was written either near the time of pauls martyrdom or subsequent to it no date can even be approxim- christ himself verse 9 he that lacketh these things where there is a christian profession but no evidence of a growth in grace one has no spirit ua outlook but is myopic occu pied with the near things that min ister to selfish desires and unable to discern the importance of those things on which the heart of god is set with this too comes forget fulresrs of past deliverances and so there is danger of slipping back in to old sins from which one had once been purged verse 10 make your calling and election sure we are called upon to behave ourselves so as to make it evident that we are of those who have been called out of a godless world by divine grace note how paul stresses this in writing to the thessalonian believers whose elec tion was manifest to all verse 11 an entrance shall bo ministered unto you abundantly in to the everlasting kingdom dis tinguish between a place in the fathers house which is the same for all those who belong to the new creation and have been made meet to be partakers of the in heritance of the saints in light and a place in christs eternal kingdom which depends very largely upon tlie measure of our devotion to the lord while in this scene jude 17 these immediate fol lowers of our lord were com missioned by him to make his will known to the church much of their testimony has been incorpor ated in the inspired epistles of the new testament which are to be recognized as the very word of the living god verse 18 they told you there should be mockers in the last time the influx of unbelieving scorners into the professed church was for- seen from the beginning so none need be surprised that such have risen up to seek to subvert the faith of all who give ear to them verse 19 such apostates set themselves apart as though they were more enlightened than others but their corrupt lives indicate the fact that they are devoid of the spirit of god verse 20 we shall be preserved from going astray if we make gods word our daily study thus building ourselves up in the truth provided during recent weeks there seems to be a wave of publicity in this i capital that obviously has for its basis the claim that canadas next prime minister will be a roman catholic external affairs minister louis st laurent when premier king decides to retire it is persis tent in gossip backstage on

churches verse by verse 2 pet 15 giving all diligence add to your faith the christian life is a growth it begins in faith which like the acorn within which an entire forest is enclosed poten tially virtue is really valor the soldierly virtue which we all need to cultivate if we are going to be valiant for truth as we fight the good fight of faith out of these pro ceeds knowledge which is gained as we study the word of god in de pendence on the holy spirit verse 6 temperance patien ce godliness when the word of god abides in the heart it leads to selfcontrol rendered temperance and out of this comes patience the ability to endure without either re sentment or anxiety- from these comes true piety or godliness which is really godiikeness the manifestation of the new nature which is divinely implanted when one is regenerated verse 7 brotherly kindness charity out of true piety comes fervent love for the christian bro therhood which is itself one of the evidences of the new birth then there is the culmination the prec ious fruitage of charity or com passionate love a love that knows no bounds but goes out to all men everywhere god is love and he chat dwelleth in love dwelleth in god and god in him verse 8 if these things be in you and abound the life will be neither idle nor unfruitful but there will be true spiritual development and everincreasing knowledge of barristers

lord when we shall enter into eternal life in all its fullness verse 24 in this letter we read of angels that fell and we are warned to beware of those who have fallen away from and repud iated the truth of the gosel but we are assured that he in whom we trust is able to preserve us from stumbling until he presents us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy verse 25 the
